Body

Doug died May 15, 2016, at his Montgomery County, Pa., home.

A native of Chambersburg, Pa., he graduated from Chambersburg High School. After earning his engineering degree from Princeton, then an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, he served as lieutenant junior grade with the Navy. Professionally, he was director of materials for the Yarway Corp.

Doug had a lifelong interest and enthusiasm for sailing. A leader of the Little Egg Harbor Yacht Club, he served as its trustee, treasurer, secretary, and commodore. Officially a sailing instructor in his teen years, he taught unofficially throughout his life. A member of the board of the Mordecai Land Trust, he derived great pleasure from skiing, bridge-engineering, and as an amateur naval historian.

At Doug’s memorial service, his son Brad noted that his commitment to sailing was “a manifestation of his unending patience, his desire to share his passion, and his interest in other people’s happiness. It was absolutely as much about people as about boats. His dedication and passion for sharing, teaching, and learning transcended sailing.”

Doug is survived by his fiancée, Kathy Traub; his former wife, Fay Lorenzon Galloway; his two sons, Brad and Larry; and his brother, Arthur. He will be missed by many.
